Office lighting not only critical for worker effciency and alertness, but it is also a legal requirement.

It is an interesting statistic to note that poor lighting is one of the most common complaints worldwide from employees. Bad lighting will cause low proudtcivity and even depression!

It is a legal requirement becase poor lighting can be dangerous and bad for your health, including headaches, tiredness and huge eye problems.

So make sure you get a professional lighting designer when installing lighting in an office.

In the daylight, always use windows - there is no substitute for natural light plus you get the bomus of a view. In addition, a study has shown that worker satisfaction INCREASES in proportion to natural light.

Natural light is good - but unfortunately is not the answer, as there could be clouds plus may not be available to everyone in tne room.

So use additional lights and ambient lights - LED lights are much better than fluorescent lights, so avoid fluros if you can.

I would agree that you should add lamps to every desk in an office.

It has been proven that bad light can make employees stressed, and likewise good lighting can increase the tranquility.

Tru putting some lights behind screens for that to remove glares.

Reducing glare is definitely important for office lighting.

You can reduce direct glare by making sure that lights do not illuminate directly into people's eyes, by using light that is not too harsh, and by placing desks away from people sitting facing the light sources or windows.

You can reduce reflective glare by having low polish furniture, monitors and floors.

One of the ways to measure poor office lighting is to:

1. Ask who thinks gthe lighting is poor

2. See how many employees are suffering from headaches

3. Do illumination ergonomic testing

Consider getting office lighting with dimmers and colour temperature control units. 

Even many LED panels these days come with it!
